Industrial hazelnut apples sometimes hide unbalanced compositions. The Yuka app compared several products and reveals the only brand that gets an excellent rating thanks to a recipe without additives or excess saturated fat.

Hazelnut potatoes are one of the French’s favorite side dishes. Almost as popular as frozen fries, they delight young and old with their crispy texture and melting center.

Frozen hazelnut apples, ideal for a quick meal

Frozen versions, ready to go in the oven, offer a quick solution for impromptu meals.

But be careful, not all are equal. Some industrial references contain too many additives or saturated fats to be considered balanced.

The Yuka application, which evaluates food products according to their composition and their impact on health, has scrutinized several recipes for frozen hazelnut apples. Which product does she think is the best?

Picard hazelnut apples get a score of 84/100

Verdict: these are the Picard hazelnut potatoes who stand out as the best.

This product obtains the “excellent” rating of 84/100 thanks to a simple and healthy composition. As a bonus, they remain very affordable: less than 3 euros for a one-kilo bag (2.30 euros) and 1.80 euros for a 450-gram box.

In fact, Picard’s hazelnut apples do not contain any additives or substances problematic for health. Their recipe provides around 4 grams of protein per 100 grams, while displaying a low level of saturated fats and sugars.

Their impact on daily salt consumption is also considered “low”.

Finally, these pre-cooked hazelnut apples “are prepared from seasoned potatoes” specifies the brand, which promises a product that is both “crispy” on the outside and soft on the inside. Something to delight the taste buds of young and old!
